World Series Quotes

In the first book of my Discworld series, published more than 26 years ago, I introduced Death as a character; there was nothing particularly new about this - death has featured in art and literature since medieval times, and for centuries we have had a fascination with the Grim Reaper.
Terry Pratchett

Art, Death, Character

After, Same, Big

Ernie Harwell

Saying, Baseball, Play

I set very high standards for myself and worked every game with the same energy and enthusiasm as if it were the seventh game of a World Series.
Jim Evans

Payne Stewart

Time, True, Greatest

Craig Kilborn

Bad, Human, Won

Mariano Rivera

Season, Series, Playoffs

Roger Clemens

Forget, Win, Remember

Great, After, Everybody

Dave Winfield

Great, End, Career

Although I have to say, it's become a lot harder for me since I won the world series because everyone wants to beat me. For example, bluffing is really tough now, because there's always someone who calls me on the off-chance that they'll then be able to say they read a world champion's bluff.
Chris Moneymaker

Someone, Tough, Become

Will McDonough

Seen, Involved, Series

Hell, Place, Reason
